NLCS Game 1 In Pictures

Alyssa Milano was covering the game for TBS.



The Diamondbacks did not sell out Chase Field for this one. They called it a sellout but there were a lot of empty seats.



Kaz Matsui once again played a key role in this one, his RBI single in the 3rd inning gave the Rockies the lead for good. He now has 7 RBI (including a grand slam) in 4 playoff games.



Eric Byrnes was called safe on this play, Helton has the ball but his foot is off the bag.



The game took an ugly turn in the 7th when the Diamondbacks were poised for a comeback with 1st and 2nd and none out. Justin Upton slid hard into second base taking out Kaz Matsui. He was called for interference resulting in a double play. It was the right call. Like the fateful Marlon Anderson play, Upton used his arm to obliterate the fielder.





The Arizona fans who did show up disagreed with the call and threw bottles and other shit onto the field. Rockies manager Clint Hurdle pulled his team off the field. The game was delayed about 8 to 12 minutes before the game resumed.




The Rockies won 5-1, to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The Rockies have won 18 of their last 19 games.
